About Moorfield House
Nursing care at Moorfield House covers older people and younger adults who may need support with dementia, physical disabilities or other complex needs. Its registration as a care home with nursing distinguishes the service from residential-only provision, while individual choice remains central to planning.
Before admission, the Home Manager can visit someone at home or in hospital to understand their needs and prepare for arrival. The wider care network includes GPs, dentists, chiropodists and dietitians, supporting residents’ overall wellbeing. Families can discuss care arrangements directly with the management team.

Questions families ask
How much does Moorfield House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Moorfield House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Newcastle upon Tyne council paid on average £967 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Moorfield House whether it takes residents funded by Newcastle upon Tyne council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
